Our clients

Our client list is a veritable Who’s Who of the investors transforming the world’s energy, resources and industrial infrastructure.

Working with Andrea Hutchinson of One Search as both candidate (initially) and then client, I am nothing short of wowed by her skills. She understands the infrastructure industry in general, the company specifically seeking to hire legal talent, and the personalities on both sides of a potential “match.” One Search operates in its own echelon, far above the others I have worked with previously in my many years practicing law.

Exus Renewables North America

We retained One Search to hire a Contracts Manager due to our growing business. Through Andrea and team, the process was well managed and highly efficient. We could not be happier with the results and our new Contracts Manager has already had a significant impact on our operations. We would highly recommend Andrea and the One Search Team for all your hiring needs.

The One Search team were professional and diligent through the entire process. Each week they walked me through the candidates they had considered which gave me a high level of confidence that they were covering the market. Their filtering of candidates through interviews ensured that the candidates that I ultimately interviewed were highly qualified and met the requirements that we had set in our search. I highly recommend One Search without reservation.

When looking to set up a new platform with our Partners, Telefónica, it was imperative that we found the right candidate who aligned with our vision as shareholders as well as someone who would integrate with the rest of the newly established Executive Committee. One Search delivered us both first class candidates and real time market insights that ultimately supported our decision making when we reached shortlist. We were encouraged by the pace and quality of insights delivered.

One Search have been with us from the start, almost exclusively supporting us on all our hiring efforts over the last two years. They have supported us in hiring our Non-Executive Chairman, Vice President, Director, Controller and Associates across Investment, Asset Management and Finance. Where One Search excel is at taking the time to understand exactly what the role is we are looking to hire for and then tailoring the search to our specific needs. The teams in New York and London have consistently performed to a very high standard and have made Innagreen’s build out a real success. One Search are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to their continued support as the Innagreen business grows.
